THOMAS MAYES, 0F ALMA, MICHIGAN.

FUMIGATOR.

Application filed May 27, 1919. Serial No. 360,043.

T 0 all w hom t may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS Marne, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alma, in the county of Gratiot and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful improvements in Fumigators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fumigators, bee smokers and the like, and comprehends a smoke chamber composed'of telescopic sections, whereby the size of the device may be materially reduced for storing purposes, and also for the convenience of handling under certain conditions, the sections being designed for association in the manner whereby they are held fixed relatively in either extended or collapsed condition.

rIhe nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent when the following detailed description is taken in con-V nection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawing forming part of this speciiication, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the device showing the sections of the smoke chamber extended.

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the smoke chamber collapsed.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken V on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

The device forming the subject matter of my invention embodies a smoke chamber made up in two sections and 11 respectively. The section 11 is arranged to telescope within the Section 10, and carries a spout 12 at the outer end thereof. The spout 12 is formed with a flange 13 designed to frictionally maintain the spout associated with the section 411, permitting of the removal of the spout therefrom for the purpose of introducing or filling the smoke chamber with fuel from the outer end thereof. Adjacent the opposite end of the section 10, the latter is formed with internal annular beads 15 and 14 respectively, adapted to be alternately received within the annular groove 16 formed on the section 11 adjacent the inner end thereof. As shown in Fig. 1, the groove 16 receives the bead 15 for holding the sections fixed relatively in extended position, and when the parts are collapsed as shown in Fig. 2, the groove 16 receives the bead 141 for the same purpose. The sections 10 and 11 may be constructed from any suitable material, and of proper size to permit the sections to be readily and easily collapsed or extended, the grooves 16 being very shallow to permit the section 11 to be collapsed within the section 10 as stated. It will be noted in this connection that when the section 11 is collapsed, the flange 13 of the spout 12 is arranged below the adjacent edge of the section 10 to prevent the flange from coming in contact with an obstacle, which would result in separa-ting the spout from the section 11 when the device is not in use. By having the smoke chamber made up of telescopic sections, the device can not only be materially reduced in .size for storing purposes, but-the length of the chamber may be reduced for the convenience of handling of the device, inplaces where a long chamber would be undesirable.

The section 1 isv provided with an air inlet opening 17, through which air is introduced from a bellows 18 of the ordinary wellknown construction. a tube 19 leading from the bellows in the direction of the opening 17 for this purpose. As the bellows is operated, the air introduced into the smoke chamber through the opening 17 will promote combustion, and at the same time force Vthe smoke to the chamber through the spout 12. A single length of material 2O is terminally secured to the bottom of the section 10, and to one side thereof as shown, the intervmediate portion of this'material being bent to provide bracket portions 22 which serve to connect and support the bellows in proper relation to the section 10.

lfihile it is believed that the nature and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the foregoing description, I desire to have it understood that what is herein shown and described is merely illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention, to which l do not limit myself, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired, as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is A device of the class described comprising a smoke chamber having an air inlet opening, a hollow boss rising about said opening, a bellows mounted upon the said chamberV and having a nipple, a tube embracing the nipple and boss, Said chamber including telescopio sections of a resilient character, internal beads formed on one section, the othei1 section having an annular groove to receive the beads for holding; said sections fixed relatively in L collapsed condition oi' in a, position for use, the latter mentioned section having an annular groove adjacentits forward end, a, spout having a iange, and an annular bead formed on said flange 10 and adapted toloe received by said groove for holding the parts associated.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

\ THOMAS MAYES.
